From end-of-life practitioners to nurses to everyday people with a calling — hear from graduates who stepped into this work and never looked back.
Despite earning a master's degree in counseling, I truly didn't feel ready to fully support clients in their grief until I took Terri's course. Now, I feel confident, equipped, and inspired. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

The timing, the support from Terri, and the content was exactly what I needed to step into this role as a Master Grief Coach. I feel confident in my abilities to hold space for grief and create a non-judgmental environment for healing. The ongoing support I've felt after completing my certification has been an added gift!
Lynn P.
Certification Graduate • End-of-Life Doula
As a busy mom and business owner, I appreciated the flexibility of the go-at-your-own-pace approach. The content was insightful, relevant, and practical — providing valuable tools that not only deepened my understanding of grief but also helped me process my own after the recent passing of my father.

Terri has developed an extremely thorough program with all the information you will need to succeed as an accredited master grief coach. Terri's experience and passion shines through every time you speak with her — she genuinely wants to help create more people to do this special kind of work. It was a wonderful experience.

As a Death Doula I wanted to become a certified grief coach to support my clients and their families. I found this program incredibly insightful and felt like I learned a lot about how to support those experiencing all different types of grief — and how to meet people where they are in their process.
Mikey M.
Certification Graduate • Death Doula
Terri's Master Certified Grief Coach course opened my eyes to a completely different aspect of grief — the side I hadn't fully understood before. The course provided a clear and thoughtful roadmap for navigating grief. Although I'm deeply saddened that our paths crossed due to the loss of our children, I'm truly blessed to have Terri as both a mentor and a friend.

Terri Chaplin · Grief Companion & Educator · Living in Gratitude with TLC
Terri Chaplin's calling was born from personal loss. After the deaths of her first husband and her son, she witnessed how deeply grief care needs more humanity, presence, and heart. Those moments became the spark behind everything she teaches today.
As a certified grief companion, educator, and Certified Heartmath Mentor, Terri has spent over six years walking alongside hundreds of people in their grief — and training thousands of coaches to do the same. Her approach is grounded in deep listening, compassion, and tools that meet each person exactly where they are.
When you enroll in the Guided Certification, you're learning from someone who doesn't just teach grief coaching — she lives it. And your one-on-one mentorship session with a program facilitator ensures you have personal support as you step from student into practice.
Your Questions, Answered
These are the questions we hear most often from coaches who are close to saying yes and want to feel certain before they do.
The Guided path includes everything in the Core certification, plus two important additions: one personal mentorship session with a program facilitator upon completion, and ongoing access to a private community of certified coaches and facilitators.
These two elements are designed to ensure you don't just earn your credential — you step into practice with real confidence and a support network around you.
Your mentorship session is a private, one-on-one conversation with a program facilitator scheduled after you complete your coursework. You can use it however serves you best — to process what you've learned, ask questions, talk through how to start working with clients, or get feedback on your next steps.
It's a dedicated space to move from "I completed the course" to "I'm ready to show up for the people who need me."
The private community is an ongoing, exclusive space for certified graduates and program facilitators. It's a place to ask questions, share experiences, find encouragement, and stay connected to others who understand this work at the same depth you do.
Many graduates say the community is one of the most valuable parts of their enrollment — because grief coaching can feel like solitary work, and having people beside you makes all the difference.
You have up to one year from your enrollment date to complete the Guided Certification. The program is entirely self-paced — no deadlines, no rushing. Move through the seven modules at a pace that works for your life.
Once you complete the final exam and earn your credential, you retain lifetime access to all course materials, including any future updates.
No prior coaching training is required. The Guided path is designed to take you from wherever you are right now. Whether you're brand new to this field, working in a related profession like end-of-life care or counseling, or coming through your own personal experience with grief — this program will meet you there.
If you're considering whether the Legacy path might be a better fit, we'd encourage you to explore that before enrolling. The Legacy path adds two more mentorship sessions, a done-for-you Business Toolkit, and a globally recognized CTAA VIP Accredited credential — all things that are much easier to include from the start.
